Verify what the generator actually powers, how it is maintained and whether safe operation is documented.
Backup power is useful only when the system starts safely under load
List critical circuits for pumps, gates, refrigeration, internet, lighting and air-conditioning. Record rated and tested output, automatic-transfer operation, run time, fuel storage, ventilation, exhaust, noise, earthing and service history. A visual start-up does not replace a load test by a qualified technician.
Confirm ownership, warranties, shared-estate responsibility, maintenance access and a written outage procedure. Compare the villa utility checklist, solar and battery guide and management service.
